GOBBLE GOBBLE THANKS!

I have long since loved this festive holiday known as Thanksgiving! Why? Well, no other holiday (yes, this includes Christmas) do Americans have a reason to eat everything they want and get stuffed plump and be able to watch football (America's favorite sport) and have a reason to just be lazy after cooking and eating all that yummy food! Yeah, Thanksgiving pretty much rocks! Now, to speak of what I'm thankful for:

First, I am thankful for my amazing family! Yes, sometimes they may get on my nerves, but  what is family for! ;)

Second, my amazing friends that mean so much to me... no, I won't name anyone specifically but they know who they are.

Third, all those that have ever touched my life for the
 better!

Last, that one guy that makes me smile!

Now a song referring to the third.

EAT PLENTY OF TURKEY TODAY AND REMEMBER THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE!

I am VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE ATONEMENT! :D

feelings...

So, I haven't really posted about how things are going, or how I'm feeling about things in a while. Mostly cause I have no clue how I'm feeling. I'm sick and tired of dealing with drama with a couple of friends, and being ignored by them and constantly feeling like my efforts are not worth it. I am however, grateful to those friends I do have that I know haven't abandoned me. (this includes my awesome family). Now, that being said I don't want people to think I'm all depressed about life. If this is my one challenge I will have to face for a bit I will be okay with that, but the only problem is that now it is starting to affect my other friendships. I feel like the one friend I thought would be there for a long time is now gone and basically dead to me. I hate feeling like that. Another friend of mine told me to pray about how I'm feeling and I just feel more and more hurt each time. I wake up from a dream and for some reason that dream involves 2 different scenarios I'm dealing with right now combined into one, and now I'm more confused then I was when I went to bed the night before. I don't want to talk to people about how I'm feeling because then I have to listen to some explanation of how they are going to handle it, or they don't care. I really want to just not talk about any of it! Especially when others feel like they have to talk over me about their problems! I used to be such an extrovert and talk about everything, and talk to everyone... now, all I want to do is crawl in a hole and never speak about my problems except to the one being I know truly cares. I am so grateful that I can speak to my Father in Heaven and get comfort from the Holy Ghost and then to know that the Savior has already paid the price to help me overcome these obstacles in my life. One day I just want to meet someone that will respond to me and let me cry on their shoulder and then not turn their back on me. Now, for those of you who know a tad of my situation please don't read too much into this. Half of this post is about something that happened over a year ago and is still going on. It is mixed in with the loads of confusion I have going on right now.
Lastly, I do not know if those that I want to read this ever will, but I want them to know that if they ever want to forgive me and be friends with me I'm willing to try, but the pain may never go away. Thanks for listening to my boring vent about how hurt I'm feeling.

Chris Medina - What Are Words

the message behind this song is even more powerful than the song. We often say things we don't mean to say or do things we don't mean to do, and many times our words can speak louder than our actions.

I AM A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS AND I AM A CHRISTIAN!

Recently the question has come up about "Mormons" being Christians. Well, as far as I know the word Christian  means- someone who believes in Christ. Well, as you can see the actual name of the church is... The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints. If you want to know what we believe go to www.mormon.org.
Also, I would like to add our 13 Articles of Faith!
1) We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2) We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3) We believe that through the Atonement of Christ all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel.
4) We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the gospel are first, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, repentance; third, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5) We believe that a man must be called of God by prophesy and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority to preach the Gospel and administer the ordinances thereof.
6) We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists and so forth.
7) We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues and so forth.
8) We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9) We believe all that God has revealed all that He does now reveal and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important thing pertaining to the kingdom of God.
10) We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11) We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12) We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13) We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-- We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything lovely virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

I will end with my testimony.
I know the Church of Jesus Christ to be a CHRISTIAN CHURCH! I know the Book of Mormon is true. I know that President Thomas S. Monson is a man called of God to reveal to us God's will for our day. I know each of these articles of faith are true and I live my life by them. I know Christ laid down his life for us so that we might be saved and have eternal life. I know that I am able to CHOOSE my own destiny! I know God's plan and I will follow Him in faith! Again, if you have Any questions about my religion go to www.mormon.org
